Cisco Packet Tracer

Packet tracer is a program that I need in order to take CCNA classes for the upcoming fall semester.
I have tried installing it on Ubuntu, but kept running into issues. So I just got rid of Ubuntu, and decided to come back to Zorin. My question is if I can just install it like I would on windows, because WINE is installed on Zorin. (I no longer have windows)

Does anybody have experience installing packet tracer on Zorin? If so let me know what the easiest method would be! Thanks in advance!

I'm not used to such things - doing a quick search I found this - any use?:

According to WineHQ, it gets a pretty good score over-all:

The easiest method would be to install WINE5 via the terminal. Do the complete "install recommends" procedure.
Once that is done, download the PacketTracer installer and select it in your Downloads folder with a Right Click and "open in Wine".
Follow the prompts from there. Wine will need to install additional packages once you start installing the Tracer software; it should prompt on those as it goes.
